I am about to jinx myself in a big, big way. But it really has to be said so that y’all understand where I am coming from: I’ve been in the zone in terms of fantasy football since July. Every week I talk about how last week was a rousing success and how happy I am to see so many of our users getting substantially better at DFS and winning money. Even though the cash game lineups for our PRO subscribers sit only at the .500 mark right now, if you factor in the four weeks of profits from GPP lineups, we are all in pretty good shape so far this season.

What’s more is that if you go back and look through these Playbooks this season, you will be hard pressed to find a handful of losing players in any one. We are running at a high clip this season, and thus I am about to get a little crazy in the direction I take things this week.

Week 7 appears to be pure anarchy already and it isn’t even Sunday yet. Between the injuries we’ve seen in practice this week, the complete bust of the Bears on Thursday night and the odd matchups we see this week, I am going to launch a preemptive strike.

Do you remember in Week 2 when everything just went sideways and nothing made much sense? No? Well put it this way. The Jets, led by 374 yards by Ryan Fitzpatrick, won their first game, as did the Panthers. Chris Johnson outrushed David Johnson, and Jimmy Garoppolo made us temporarily forget about Tom Brady. Well, I said at the time that weeks like that happen a few times every NFL season. This week it is going to happen again.

Thus, I am going to try and stay ahead of the curve and wrench a little bit on my formulas. I already can see how the entire industry is going to go this week with value RBs and high-end WRs. This approach appears to be very solid and quite easy to build lineups around. But things are never quite that easy, otherwise everybody would win and we would all just get our money back.

Winners have to be able to stay ahead of the curve and be able to adjust their approach once everybody starts to copy. The DFS NFL Rankings and this here Playbook will have some of the chalk players for the week. But you must read the breakdowns this time. I’m going to be projecting some different game flow for some of these games than what Vegas and the DFS industry believe. Thus, we will be fading some chalk and in fact swimming against the current.

Breakdown: The Raiders’ defense is terrible. They rank dead last in passing yards per game and passing yards per attempt this season. They also have given up the fifth most fantasy points to QBs. Bortles is at home with a projected game total of 50. This game could shoot out and at this price he could be the best price per dollar play of the entire slate this week.

Breakdown: Easily the best RB play of the week this week. Murray is expensive, but with so much value at the RB and WR positions this week, he is very affordable. The Colts have given up the third most fantasy points to RBs this season and eighth most receptions to RBs as well. The Colts won’t have DE Henry Anderson either, which means even more room for this Titans offensive line to get up field.

RB, Jacquizz Rodgers, Buccaneers at 49ers

FD: $5,600
DK: $4,300
FA: $4,000

Breakdown: Rodgers will once again be the only RB for the Buccaneers. His bargain-basement price and matchup against the awful 49ers has Rodgers lined up as a prime target this week. His projected ownership is 29.51 percent on FD and 35.76 percent on DK this week, both the highest of any RB this week.

RB, Mike Gillislee, Bills at Dolphins

FD: $5,300
DK: $3,000
FA: $3,500

Breakdown: If McCoy plays, you can use Gillislee only in a multiple lineup, heavy-volume type of way. If McCoy is out, Gillislee becomes a top five RB across the board. The Dolphins give up the second most rushing yards per game, and the Bills rush for the most yards per game and per attempt this season.

Breakdown: One of the best WRs in the game in the highest scoring game of the day. Julio comes with a high price tag but is very affordable with all of the QB, RB and WR value on the board.

WR, Mike Evans, Buccaneers at 49ers

FD: $8,000
DK: $7,800
FA: $5,300

Breakdown: Evans is an absolute target monster and will likely see 12-plus once again this week. The Bucs have no Vincent Jackson for the rest of the year, so Evans is basically the only receiver left.

WR, Tyrell Williams, Chargers at Falcons

FD: $6,100
DK: $4,400
FA: $4,200

Breakdown: Tyrell still is minimally priced across the industry. He draws a matchup against Desmond Trufant in which he will enjoy a 5-inch height advantage.

Breakdown: All is right with the world again. Gronk is back to being the top TE in fantasy football and his price is still affordable. He eventually will be up at the $9K mark, so get in now while you still can.

TE, Vernon Davis, Redskins at Lions

FD: $4,500
DK: $2,900
FA: $4,100

Breakdown: It’s muscle memory, folks. Kirk Cousins loves to throw to the TE position and draws one of the best matchups of the week. The Lions have given up fourth most fantasy points to TEs this season.
